The Terror (2018) s02e05 Episode Script
Shatter Like a Pearl
You ever hear of a thing called the yurei? Can a yurei control other people? You know it's not real, right? My daughter, Amy, would like to offer her secretarial services.
Still nothing on Admiral Takahashi.
But they never mention him by name, right? Ken Uehara.
This is Amy.
Is my baby okay? What's happening? [.]
[SHUTTER CLICKS.]
[MURMUR AND SHOUT OF DISTANT U.
S.
ARMY CAMP.]
[FAMILY GIGGLES HAPPILY.]
BURLINGHAM: Nakayama! Nakayama, the new batch! ARTHUR: He's fogged over again.
You'd think a change of scenery would do him some good.
My girl left me, and I'm still doing my job.
Not saying it's the same But it's the same.
Your girl goes home to Pocatello, my infant sons are buried in a prison camp.
Come on.
Bob'd take a bullet for you.
I wish he would.
It'd shut him up.
He's cracked.
Truth be told, I'm hoping that new batch of translators gets here soon.
You know what my cousin told me? Before you ship out, look to the man on your right and the one on your left.
One of them's comin' home in a body bag.
Yeah, right and if both of 'em make it, then it's gonna be you.
Hey, lighten up.
That's just frontline grunts.
We haven't lost a single translator.
Now, I heard a fella in Guadalcanal took a flamethrower to the face, came out fresh as a daisy.
So you're saying we're due? If so, my money's on Terajima.
He's been looking spooked all day.
What do you think, 'Jima? Take one for Uncle Sam? They'll name a pagoda after you.
[GRUNTING.]
[LAUGHING.]
Remember when he used to be fun? [DRUMMING LIGHTLY.]
[SHIP'S HORN BLARES.]
[OFFICERS SHOUT.]
Pick it up! Hey Let's win us some scalps, huh? [JOINTS CRACKING.]
Hey, where's Guadalcanal at, anyway? Solomon Islands.
Where's that? I guess we'll find out.
[.]
[.]
What this? "Statement of United States Citizen of Japanese Ancestry.
" Fill it out, turn it in.
Just have to prove you're a loyal American.
This we must prove? Just fill it out, pal.
KEN: A loyalty questionnaire? We put this stuff in writing, they'll throw it back in our faces.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Still, first time anybody upstairs has mentioned letting us out.
Maybe we'll get to enlist.
That's your best-case scenario, Yoshida? Get your head blown off for the glory of FDR? Be sent to Japan, be sent to jail, or be sent to die.
This whole thing's a trap.
It's plain as a hakujin's nose.
[TYPEWRITER CLACKS.]
I must speak with Major Bowen.
Make confession.
[WHISPERS.]
"Confession" is not a good word to be using in here, Yamato-san.
In 1925, I donate tinfoil to collection for Japanese Navy.
I only give to make man at my door go away.
No room to explain that.
[WHISPERS.]
Say nothing about this.
Release docs from yesterday's overnighter.
I don't know why Japs like sleeping in the stockade so much.
I guess some people feel the need to protest.
Protest? Ingratitude is what it is, and now this goddamn questionnaire? The WRA's all over my ass to get 100% response rate, and everybody's bitching and moaning.
No one wants to answer wrong.
It's 30 goddamn questions.
Half of 'em are "yes" or "no".
It should take five minutes, and here I thought y'all were supposed to be obedient.
I mean you're reasonable, but the rest of 'em, holy Moses.
Yes, you laid out the rules so clearly.
Consequences for non-compliance is what there needs to be.
Stern ones.
You get through the Aoki diary? It confirms Admiral Takahashi did some psychological experiments on Crittenden, but nothing about how, or if there's others.
"We have no goals save that our bodies might shatter into glorious shards of pearl.
" I always translate "tama" as "jade", but I actually like "pearl" better.
That guy was a bit of a poet before we ground him into hamburger.
Well, at least we know what made Crittenden break, and it wasn't some yurei.
I was so sure that it was here, but it was back at camp the whole time.
It wanted me to come here, so it could get to Luz.
Chester, I used to mop up the infirmary at Manzanar.
It doesn't take some evil spirit for something to go bad in those camps.
There was never a yurei.
If there isn't a yurei, that just means I came here for what? Nothing? Nothing? There's a live P.
O.
W.
from Takahashi's unit right now And neither of us is allowed in the room, because the Harvard interrogator's afraid we'll spot his shitty Japanese.
Look at us.
Useless to our country, useless to our families.
What are we? What am I? That's a little philosophical for my speed.
You play? Used to? Second base in the Nisei League.
There you go.
That's something.
You're a ball player.
[TENT FLAP OPENS.]
BURLINGHAM: Stallings needs the both of you.
I think it's serious.
Major Tebry Van Allen's our best interrogator, but he's hit a bit of a snag with this P.
O.
W.
Our prisoner fell two miles out of his Zero, so he's not his best self.
Now's the time to press him.
That's why I've got a new interrogator en route from Brisbane.
Your job is to babysit the prisoner till he gets here.
These Ivy League guys can't imagine what it's like to think like a Japanese.
They won't get anywhere.
You got a better idea, Nakayama? Sir, I think Chester is asking permission for us to speak with the prisoner.
Denied.
You're not interrogators.
CHESTER: You chose us for a reason.
Let us show you what we can do.
[MAN WINCING IN PAIN.]
Major Van Allen.
[PRISONER SEETHING AND SNARLING.]
[ROARING AND SEETHING IN RAGE.]
[SPITS.]
[CRAZED LAUGHTER.]
[YELLING IN JAPANESE.]
What did he call you? A shiryô.
It's an ancient word.
It means something like "dead man, walking amongst the living.
" Well, keep watch on him, and regardless of what he calls you, don't engage.
We've got professionals for that.
Understood? [SHOUTING IN RAGE.]
For a few minutes there, it almost felt like we weren't in prison.
Minutes, huh? I'm a little sweet on you too, Inmate 30893-C.
Mm-hmm [GIGGLING.]
Do you think the MPs know which barracks are empty? If any one of 'em could find a girl, he'd be doing the same as us.
What if they use that questionnaire to draft you? I promise, I'm not gonna let some stupid answers on a stupid paper keep us apart.
Five Mississippi, four Mississippi, three Mississippi, two Mississippi, one Mississippi.
Ready or not, here I come! [WHISPERS.]
There she is, the ghost woman.
[GASPING IN FRIGHT.]
[.]
[GASPING.]
[.]
[.]
[DROPPING IT.]
Sir the prisoner wants to engage.
Biting a man's ear off is a kind of engagement.
If he knows Takahashi, this is our chance.
Did you notice how the prisoner was looking at you? Mm-mm.
How? He wasn't.
He was staring at me.
A white man's just the enemy to him, but I'm something different.
A traitor.
A shiryô.
That means I can get him off-balance, maybe even get inside his head.
You sure you got your own marbles in order? Absolutely, sir.
I'm here to serve.
Major Bowen will cut our rations unless we answer! What do you expect us to do? Say nothing.
I know you're hungry.
I am too.
You might be scared, but that's what they want.
We just want to eat.
It's our constitutional right not to answer.
You remember Amendment Five? It's illegal to even ask.
They certainly can't starve us or scare us into answering! WALT: You know that guy's only happy when he's rocking the boat.
Yoshida if you don't rock the boat, you're as bad as the ketoh locking us up.
SOLDIER: That's enough! Get down! Failure to complete and submit the form will be construed as treasonous behavior, subject to indefinite imprisonment.
[PRISONERS MURMURING.]
Excuse me, Major, but treason? Even if they don't answer at all? We're not playing games here, Miss Yoshida, and make sure your boyfriend over there knows that.
Just because a barrack is empty doesn't mean I don't know what's going on in it.
[SCABBARD SNAPS SHUT.]
[EXHALING.]
Chester He's playing you.
What was that? Why did you say that? - Why'd you say that - Leave it! [ROARING.]
[LAUGHING.]
Have you even looked at questions 27 and 28? "Are you willing to serve in the armed forces of the United States on combat duty, wherever ordered?" They just want you to mark "yes".
Anyone who says "yes", they'll draft.
Anyone who says "no", they'll throw in prison.
It's not just prison.
Bowen says they'll try you for treason.
"Will you swear unqualified allegiance to the United States of America and to faithfully defend the United States from any and/or all attack by foreign or domestic forces, and forswear any form of allegiance to the Japanese emperor?" It's just stupid answers, Ken, on a stupid paper.
Do like Walt did.
Write "yes" twice.
"Forswear any allegiance to the emperor?" I was born here.
I couldn't live with myself if I marked "yes" to a question like that.
If you mark "no", they'll take you away, from me.
Ken, please.
[DRUMBEAT POUNDING.]
[FLASHBULB POPS.]
Chester [SHOUTING AND FUMING.]
[TYPEWRITER CLACKING.]
"No" to 27.
"No" to 28.
"No" to 27.
"No" to 28.
"No" to 27.
"No" to 28.
You don't want the man who says yes to those questions.
[SINGING SOFTLY.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.]
Someone's come to see you.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Ay, dios mÃo.
If your mother could see you I can't believe it.
[SNIFFLES.]
Um a man came to the house, a sergeant in uniform, and he had news, from North Africa.
Algeria.
Dennis was doing transport in a convoy, and there was a battle, and it didn't, um it didn't go our way.
We lost We lost your brother.
Mija, you shouldn't be here, in this place where your babies It's time you came home.
[SPITTING.]
[LAUGHING.]
What percentage Japanese would you say your husband is? The man is not her husband, but he's 100% Japanese.
What kind of food do you prepare for family dinners? Japanese food? She eats the food you people prepare for her, obviously.
Do you have any children from the union? Sir.
Please.
It'll take three to five days to process the request.
- You can go.
- Thank you.
Enrique and Hikaru.
What's that, Miss Ojeda? We had two children.
I named them Enrique and Hikaru [CRICKETS CHIRPING.]
[SIGHING.]
[WIND GUSTING.]
[WIND RUSTLING PAGES.]
Chester.
[TYPEWRITER CLACKING.]
[KEN'S VOICE ECHOES.]
: Question 27, "no.
" Question 28, "no.
" [TUCKING PAPER INTO STACK.]
[STORY CONTINUES, VOICE FADING.]
Hey, hey, cavalry's here! ARTHUR: Glad to have you boys relieving us.
Didn't want you fellas to hog all the action.
Let's get you set up.
Coming, Terajima? [SPECTRAL CHORUS SINGS.]
NICOL: We're taking away anyone who answered "no" to questions 27 and 28.
Get your hands off me, you jerk.
No I'm American.
There are twice as many guards in the higher-security camps.
Your "No-no" boys will be well taken care of.
History will remember this day! Your children will be ashamed of what you've done! Lotta talk, Uehara.
Should've known you were full of shit.
I answered "no", both questions, just like the others.
Sure you did.
Ken Uehara answered "yes" to 27 and 28.
That's all of 'em.
You lied to us! I don't know what happened! I swear I answered "no".
Coward! It was just two stupid words on a stupid paper.
At least you're still here.
Ken, please Ken Anything? No.
Nothing.
New guys are here.
Apparently we're moving out.
The new interrogator's waiting for the prisoner at a P.
O.
W.
camp in Guam.
Maybe he'll get something about Takahashi.
[CHOKING UP.]
[GRUNTS, DAGGER STABS.]
[EXHALES, WINCING SOFTLY.]
[STRAINING.]
[BLADE SLICING.]
[RAVEN CALLING IN THE DISTANCE.]
We will let Chester know what happened.
He'll want to know where to find you.
I left him a letter.
Please give this back to Yuko.
My midwife.
She gave it to me as a gift.
Yuko gave this to you? [.]
HENRY: Please be safe.
Be well.
[.]
[DOOR CLOSING.]
[TRUCK ENGINE STARTING.]
So Ota broke free while your back was turned, right? He got hold of the dagger, and you had no opportunity to stop him until it was too late.
Right? Yes.
Yes? Yes.
Hmm, then that's what happened.
It's not the happiest ending, but at least you got a breadcrumb on Takahashi.
That's more than Major Van Allen can say, or hear, for that matter.
Get packed, and try to get some rest.
I got bigger plans for you.
[EXHALING IN RELIEF.]
[BONES CRACKING.]
[SHUFFLING.]
Hey, are you okay? [BLOW LANDING.]
[.]
[STARTING ENGINE.]
STALLINGS: Nakay ? Stop that jeep! We got a runner! [SOLDIERS SHOUTING.]
Shoot it if you have to! Aim for the tires! [SHOTS BLAST AND RICOCHET.]

[JAW CRACKING.]
[MOANING IN TERROR.]
[GROANING.]
[.]
A spirit does follow me.
[BONES CRACKING.]
What does it want? There's more to the world than any of us will ever understand.
Does this mean you can speak to the dead? Do you know what's gonna happen to you? You're always too goddamn afraid to do the right thing.
That wind that was you, wasn't it? You were always with me.
Running is not a plan.
Freeze! She return on the dead.
- [SCREAMING.]
- [FIRE RAGING.]
You're trying to outrun a demon.
Still nothing on Admiral Takahashi.
But they never mention him by name, right? Ken Uehara.
This is Amy.
